Meta-PokéBase Q&A

Wall for themodernage (page 2)

Oh hey, you're back I guess? Anyways, I have to say, you were right when you said NU really wasn't prepared for Swift Swim (Adamant) Basculegion, as even defensive Tsareena gets 2HKOed by Wave Crash under rain lol. Even Cloyster is just 2 Adamant Wave Crashes from seeing whatever higher power it believes in. And yes, Male Basculegion is NU now.

Regarding that Male Basculegion set you posted, do you think you could add Flip Turn as an option over Liquidation. Not sure what Flip Turn is useful for in OU, but in the context of NU, it is useful to deal chip damage from Pokemon such as Brute Bonnet and Avalugg. (Brute Bonnet has Sucker Punch and Avalugg is Avalugg)

Yeah. I kind of see it being in UU, if not RU.

" and maybe this will be the straw that breaks NU's back."

That's assuming Diancie drops to NU. :P

"Bro honestly yall should take my older answers with a grain of salt. On almost all my moveset questions posted before around October 2022 I had absolutely no idea of what I was talking about. You can use them but most of them aren't exactly meta defining for a reason."

Can relate. My moveset answers in 2020 and some in 2021 are like, 'why did I make this?".

Ok. Makes sense, considering Iron Treads dropped to NatDex UU for some reason.

You play National Dex OU, right? Does Donphan have some sort of niche there to make it rise from NatDex UU to NatDex OU, or was it just ladder being garbage and using Donphan just because?
